"The Relay for Life was definitely a success," said Larson. "It provided a wonderful opportunity for our class to raise money for a great cause and give back to the community. In addition, we were able to spend a memorable evening together as a class before going our separate ways for clinical rotations."
The event held at the Elk Point-Jefferson High School track raised over $26,000 to fight cancer and provide services to cancer patients and their families.
